Blood Pressure Monitoring Device for Heart Pump Patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This pilot study tests whether a special blood pressure cuff works well for people with a specific type of heart pump (HM3 LVAD). The goal is to see if this device can help monitor blood pressure safely and easily at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an HM3 left ventricular assist device (a mechanical heart pump)
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your kidney function is adequate (eGFR of 30 or higher)
- You can have your blood pressure taken on at least one upper arm
- You are not currently receiving inotropes (heart-support medications given through an IV)
- You do not have severe cognitive or vision problems that would prevent you from using the device

This study tests whether a small sensor (CardioMEMS) implanted in the lung artery can help doctors better manage LVAD settings and reduce hospital visits. It is for people who already have a HeartMate 3 heart pump and are stable enough to go home.
This study tests whether using a wearable, cuffless blood pressure monitor for 24 hours can help manage blood pressure better than standard office checks. It may help patients with high blood pressure find a more convenient way to track and control it.
This trial tests a wirelessly implanted device that measures pressure in the left upper heart chamber (left atrial pressure) in people with advanced heart failure. By tracking that pressure, researchers hope to better understand disease status and guide care.
This study tests a new wearable device that measures blood pressure without a cuff. You might be able to join if you are generally healthy, not pregnant, and have no serious heart or kidney problems.
This study checks whether a noninvasive ultrasound-based method can help diagnose what’s going on in people with a HeartMate 3 blood pump. It may help detect important pump-related changes while keeping the process safer for certain high-risk situations.
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
